The Invisible President

Whatever happened to Joe Biden?

It’s a question that has been asked a lot over the years. Back in 2020, when he was running for president, it came up repeatedly. But that was during America’s pandemic madness, which gave Biden a veneer of plausibility for being holed up in his basement. He doesn’t have that excuse anymore, so where is he? Not out and about. Do you see him on TV? A Wall Street Journal issue this week, to cite just one token of the situation, didn’t mention Biden in a headline until the bottom of Page 13. Even then, it was coupled to the word “feeble,” not to an official act. This wasn’t a bad news decision by the paper but an accurate reflection of the facts of Biden’s utter irrelevance. So, who is running the country and leading the free world? It’s a bit disingenuous of me to ask that as though this is a sudden change. Some of us have been pointing out for years that Biden was never really in charge.

He's literally vanished...
